Talk:PFD

Peters Fraser & Dunlop

PFD, literary and talent agents, formerly Peters Fraser & Dunlop may, deserve an article, and thus an entry. A. D. Peters already has red-links.

Probability of failure upon demand

I removed

* [[Safety Integrity Level|Probability of failure upon demand]], in electrical or electronic safety devices

whose presence probably reflects, contrary to MoSDab, the misconception that a Dab page is a fancy static version of a search of WP, with the Dab's title as key. While the article Safety Integrity Level provides enough context to hint a dictdef for "Probability of failure upon demand", it provides no encyclopedic information on the concept, and it is unlikely that an article on "Probability of failure upon demand" could ever survive speedy deletion. If you think otherwise, write the stub for it.

PDF

It's been about 20 months since i messed with the accompanying Dab, so i don't think its existence makes my confusion today especially unique. I had to deal w/ a PDF file, and later on referred to it as a PFD. If you don't deal with them a on a weekly basis, it's likely you won't recall what it stands for -- especially since "Public Domain File" is way off! -- and be able to use that correct that momentary thot by reciting the words, but you're still going to run into some PDF G-hits, and want to remember how to describe them. (In my case, i recalled Personal Flotation Device, &, only bcz of realizing that connection but feeling it was an unfamiliar one, got the strong suspicion that PFD was the wrong initialism for the file. So i added it, in See also, since it's only a desperate resort for those with a rare pocket of cluelessness.

Pediatric Feeding Disorder

Pediatric feeding disorders lacked a universally accepted definition. A unifying diagnostic term, “pediatric feeding disorder” encompassing medical, nutrition, feeding skill, and psychosocial domains was proposed in “Pediatric Feeding Disorder: Consensus Definition and Conceptual Framework”. PEDIATRIC FEEDING DISORDER: AN OVERVIEW Feeding is an intricate combination and coordination of skills. It is the single most complex and physically demanding task an infant will complete for the first few weeks, and even months, of life. A single swallow requires the use of 26 muscles and 6 cranial nerves1 working in perfect harmony to move food and liquid through the body. When one or more pieces of the feeding puzzle are missing, out of order, or unclear, infants and children can have difficulty eating and drinking. Pediatric feeding disorder (PFD) is impaired oral intake that is not age-appropriate and is associated with medical, nutritional, feeding skill, and/or psychosocial dysfunction2 . Conservative evaluations estimate that PFD affects more than 1 in 37 children under the age of 5 in the United States3 each year. For these infants and children, every bite of food can be painful, scary, or impossible, potentially impeding nutrition, development, growth, and overall well-being. 2A02:ED0:53BA:E000:F13D:74BB:E309:D71 (talk) 15:15, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
